up to Bismarck to the next legislature with
deficiency bills, because | give them fair
warning now that they need not expect any
countenance from me for the passage of such
bills.
These remarks show very plainly
whether Gov. Church is eXtravagant or
not-especially with the peoples money.
think Gov. Church can be trusted
some time yet. 1t is these legislators
that need Mr.. Carter's spying vigilance
and not the Democratic governor
And MIR. Carter further pitches into
the administration on the way in which
the territorial Insurance was disposed.
A sufficient answer to all of Mr.. Carriers
rawlings on this subject is that the pub
lie insurance is all placed with the best
and most reliable companies in the
country, and at a saving to the territory
of several thousands of dollars. These
are facts that weigh quite as strong
with business men as the silly vapOrings
of Mr.. Carter-that the governor gave
the insurance to one agency and did not
give the home companies any of the in
Surance. 1t might be added that the
home companies stood just as good a
chance to get some of the insurance as
the foreign companies did.
EDITOR PIERCE AND TIE STAFF CON-
TRIBUTOR.
Gov. Pierce seems to be laid on the
shelf, politically and editoriafly. The
public seems to have caught on to. the
fact that Pierce tried to run the Pioneer
Press to boom himself, and that the pro-
prietors of the paper got tired of him
and shipped" him, and he has gone
East. Whatever truth there is in this,
and there may be cOnsiderable-iti is the
common report through the papers of
the territory.
The meaning of the term s'staff con-
tribution' has become common through
out the country, and | may tiatter my
self that it carries considerable power
with it. The much-hated (by the &. 0.
2. gang ''Staff contributor" has gained
the respect of all honest people by his
decided stand for what is right. 1t is
not too much to say that the term "staff
contributor means something now.
And l notice that one editor has me
down fine, anyway. | recently gave a
raking over to Mr.. Bowen, of the
YanktOn Press and Dakotian, in which
L showed that early i'll the game he was
onto the YanktOn boOdlerS, and went to
Huron for the express purpose of in
forming on them, and later, for reasons
best known to himself, and generally
thought to be largely political, has I'M
dertaken to defend them. This Mr..
Bowen, in his paper this week, comes
out with long-winded article, in which
he mentions me by name, and calls me
Colonel Sheafe. of Watertown. Now
| am sure that this is distinguished
honor, and one that would like to take
to myself, but | am forced to decline in
the interest of candor and truth. Mr..
Bowen you will have to guess again: |
am not Colonel Sheafe. But am glad,
Rowan MI 1,n4I Il n
ing to admit that he did go to Huron
and make charges against the Yankton
boodlers. That was right then, but now,
because these bOodlers are Republicans,
that ought not to be reason enough for
him to try to defend them from such
charges.
CHURCH FAvoRS ADMISSION.
Gov. Church was at the Mitchell fair
the other day, and l was there, too, and
heard him make speech. That speech
was one that was not altogether eX-
pected. Mitchell people like Gov.
Church, and they always treat IN well,
and he likes to go there. But, with all
this in his favor, it did not account for
the tremendous enthusiasm with which
the speech was received. The gov
ernor, III some way, always manages to
strike responsive chord of the people
in his public speeches. At Mitchell he
did more than this. After reciting a
long list of the wonderful advantages
! that Dakota has, and the extraordinary
prosperity that attends her, the govern
or voiced the sentiment of nearly every
Dakotan when be said:
With such a record as this it is time that
Dakota's rights were recognized by the ma
ton; II is time that Dakota was admitted to
the sisterhood of states; and any aid or assist
ance that can give to help to bring about
this end may be depended upon to give to
my fullest extent.
With this one short speech Gov.
Church has put himself in accord with
the people of Dakota. They will honor
and trust man who is able to appre-
ciate the needs of territory like Dallo-
ia, and public-splrited enough to pub
licly proclaim these rights.
